Rockingham Remembered
Short Stories
Drinking From A Saucer
Author Unknown
I've never made a fortune
And it's probably too late now.
But I don't worry about that much.
I'm happy anyhow.
As I go along life's journey
I'm reaping beter than I sowed.
I'm drinking from my saucer
'Cause my cup has overflowed.

Ain't got a lot of riches,
Sometimes the goings rough.
But I got a kid that loves me.
That makes me rich enough.
I just thank God for His blessings,
And the mercy He has bestowed.
I'm drinking from my saucer
'Cause my cup has overflowed.

And I remember times when
things went wrong
And my faith got a little thin.
But then all at once the dark
clouds broke
And the old sun broke through
again.
So Lord, help me not to gripe
About the tough rows I have hoed.
I'm drinking from my saucer
'Cause my cup has overflowed.

And if God gives me the strength
and courage
When the way gets steep and
rough.
I won't ask for other blessings.
I'm already blessed enough.
And may I never be too busy
To help another bear his load.
Then I'll keep drinking from my
saucer
'Cause my cup has overflowed.
